I don’t buy this as a general rule Any more.
People who want to work hard contribute and advance will do so.
People who want to hide will always find a way.
With the quality of tools available for virtual work, there is no obstruction to those who wish to be productive. (Provided you job can be done virtually)
I’ve actually felt a higher level of productivity personally And among my staff. 1) no time spent walking from conference room to another (2) commute is removed as an additional component of work day as well as ‘getting ready for work’. some even split this time with the employer by working extra time normally consumed by commute (3) many people go out of their way to show more production of of fear of not being visible (4) everyone is accessible, there really isn’t a ‘stepped out for lunch’ or the like
I get the mentality of clock punching and watching, but I think managers can see who’s working and who’s not.
some of the least productive people I Know spend 10 hours a day “in the office”
Amen to that.
I think some of the push for people to get back in the office is from managers that don't do very much work. Pre-COVID they would spend most of their days chatting with people about nothing or scheduling hour long meetings that could've been a 30 second email. Now that they are WFH they have about an hour of work per day and assume everyone else is doing as little work as they are. They feel the need to be in the office to be productive because what they were doing in the office wasn't actually "productive".

Can anyone cite an injury to a professional QB from throwing the ball as far as they can?
I can believe average Joe 6 pack throwing out his rotator cuff trying to throw a football. I can't believe an NFL level professional athlete throwing out his rotator cuff by throwing a football.
I think it would be a cool competition to have if they are raising $$ for charity

Star has been a pretty awful contract from day 1. Pushing it out another year is not going to improve matters.
Maybe we can re-structure the already re-structured contract next year ?
-
I voted that it will happen on time, but my opinion could change really quickly. A lot will come down to the other sports leagues that are completing or starting their seasons in the next week. The rest will come down to how many players get sick and if there's a major outbreak among players.

How many times has a professional QB injured themselves by trying to throw it as far as they can (contest or otherwise)?
There's an awful lot of talk in here about injuries when it seems like a very low chance of happening.

A couple reply's to your thoughts in your particular order
I'm sure my son in law did play grab ass more than once (like most Normal teenagers) while my daughter & he were dating in high school and i'm sure my daughter turned around and smacked him for it more than once in return I'm pretty sure !
But that doesn't make me think he's a ass hat especially after them getting married, 4 - deployments to Iraq 1 to Afghanistan - 2 grandchildren and then becoming a cop .
If being a normal teenage kid with raging hormones looking at pretty young girls that you go to school with every day in your grade and they flirt with you every day makes me a perv then i guess i was . Emphasis on WAS !!
And how do you know that the girl i was playing grab ass with in high school wasn't my girl friend as far as i know that use to be normal in western NY in the little country town i grew up in ? Maybe that's inappropriate for city boys but i wasn't one so i wouldn't know.
And last if grabbing my wife ass makes me a perv then i guess i still am and will always be .
Ya'll with your better than thou attitudes and your douche pill/idiot comments are just a bit over sensitive i'm thinking ... JMHO
But hey every one has a opinion were aloud that in this country ...
There's a teeny tiny bit of a difference between playing grab ass with your significant other vs playing grab ass with a co-worker.

Anyone have the cliff notes on this?
Here's the highlights
New female hires were warned by other women to avoid a certain glass staircase in the building (men would hang out at the bottom to look up skirts)
Women were repeatedly told to wear tighter/more revealing outfits (to increase sales)
Women were hit on repeatedly after saying no
None of the women had complaints directly about Snyder, but did say that he made a male executive do cartwheels for entertainment (as the guy used to be a male cheerleader in college).
Inappropriate comments like "she has an ass like a wagon" or "nice, tight body" that sort of thing
Actual texts:
One message had a male executive referencing an inside joke about a woman, when she asked about he said they had a bet going as to whether or not her boobs were natural or surgically enhanced.
Another message a guy was going to pick up a pizza for a woman....if she slept with him.

All of this is very interesting in a wait and see kind of manner but I find myself wondering this:
Say this bombshell leads to NFL forcing a sale (I think most in league circles would be happy to be rid of Snyder) - what’s the value of a team with a bad PR situation (potentially toxic depending on what goes down with the story), no history of success, no real future on the football side, in a non-sports town, with a very successful team next door, in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and all the uncertainty that comes with?
Define "no history of success"
The Redskins have 3 more Superbowl victories than we do....

Honestly I'd be more scared of Tyrod Taylor than Cam as QB for the Pats.

This is one of the more ridiculous statements you've made on this board. If anything, McD is the antithesis of "hard-headed" and constantly looks to evolve. Have you listened to literally nothing the man preaches?
As I've stated numerous times...let's see how the Buffalo offense looks now that they have the pieces in place. You don't think McD said to Beane "I need receivers who will catch the ball and score?"
I couldn't care less what he preaches, I'm looking at what he does during games. I don't see a coach that has evolved over the last 3 years.

That is about what I remember, and why I cam around to Kap's methodology. However, if I may complicate the analysis a bit....
I wonder whether there is room for intent and opinion regarding the meaning of symbols in today's America. Kap's intent aside, kneeling for the anthem has always been a slight to the country and those who served for its betterment.
Think about it in terms of the confederate monuments. The intent, so to speak, for many southerners was that those monuments represented honor, pride, etc. BLM and others said no, they represent racism. Furthermore, because it was racist, it didn't matter what the intent was for those who idolized the monuments. Therefore, the monuments could not stand.
Apply that analysis here. I'm not sure Kap gets to rewrite the meaning of his actions, even if his intent is not meant to be offensive.
Is that true? Kneeling in general is a sign of respect/contemplation. Before Kaep I cannot recall anyone kneeling for anthems (let alone it being a slight to the country).

Oh yes.....that's what we're doing now. In my town we're in the process of tar and feathering the new mayor because she (minority female btw) fumbled her response to a question about protests.
Twitter outrage getting those results ?

So we're supposed to tar and feather this guy because of a 1 year old screenshot of part of a private text exchange? What if the other person said something about "elite white people" earlier in the message and he was trying to make a joke about it?
This isn't even worth an apology IMO.

I do think a lot of people on this board are sleeping on the Jets, but this analysis needs to check their simulations if they really think the Jets have an almost 80% chance of winning the division.
I'd put it at
Bills 50%
Patriots 25%
Jets 20%
Dolphins 5%

I guess I'm glad Beane has an actual reason for ignoring the comp pick formula, but I find his reasoning to be myopic.
Sure, a proven vet backup like Teller probably adds more immediate value to your roster than a comp pick. BUT he costs a lot more in salary, and has no upside. Best case for a player like Teller is that we trade him for a mid/late round pick and eat some dead cap (or we suffer a lot of injuries and we're forced to start him). Whereas a comp pick has a small chance of turning into a star player while on a rookie contract.

3 years is an extremely short term contract for a 25 year old tackle. I'm curious how this will effect the overall market as most players sign for longer term and more overall money, but a lower AAV.
-
I'm at a B-
Good player at a position of need, but we did pay a premium for him.

Belichek is the best coach in NFL history, and they still have a lot of that great DEF intact.
Brady was on the decline last year, no better than about an average QB, and they went 12-4. Depending on who they get to replace him, they are still very much a threat to win the division.

Lol b c it's the Bills is the only reason you have...
We can use Brandin Cooks as a comparable (both times he was traded)
Cooks was actually a better contract:production ratio when he was traded (both times) and he fetched less (both times).
-
I'm not thrilled with the price. Even if the Hopkins trade didn't happen (where a better WR went for significantly less) we overpaid here.

For sure Beane was in on this but OBrien no way would trade Hopkins to an AFC team.
I get that there's a stigma to trading within the division, but is there really one for trading within the conference?
-
I don't think it can be over-stated just how bad this trade is for the Texans.
David Johnson was an outstanding player.....in 2016. He's currently one of the worst contracts in the league.
You get a cap dump + 2nd + swap 4ths. And you give up one of the best WR in the league. A 29 year old on a fair contract that will very likely make the HOF.
I'm flabbergasted. How does Beane not offer substantially more than this?
-
I'll agree with Poyer as best and Lotulelei as worst.
Lotulelei isn't a terrible player, but we gave him a pretty large contract that he hasn't come close to earning.
HM worst:
Vontae Davis. It's embarrassing that he retired at half time of a game. However, the Bills had only given him a 1 year deal, and were able to re-coup almost his entire salary.
Charles Clay. Copy paste the Lotulelei comment. Bit of a toss up really which one is worse. Star has 3 years to go on his contract, if he manages to finish that without being cut Clay might pass him as worst.

I guess I'm a pessimist, but I'm not happy with this decision.
I think he's a fairly average coach. The 2017 Bills were a very mediocre team that finished 9-7 and made the playoffs only through the grace of god. The 2019 Bills were a bit better, but finished 10-6 with an insanely easy schedule.
The team is trending in the right direction, but if we don't take that next step I think we'll regret this decision.
